internet home business

There is a really good saying to always keep in mind: ‘You can’t fail unless you quit’. One other that goes with that is ‘The road to success is littered with failures’. ‘They’ also say that the reason only 5% succeed is for no other reason than 95% quit Internet marketing too soon.

They quit without even trying, or they quit too soon when they don’t see instant results. It does cost a little money to operate a business, so that is one reason people are in such a big rush… Some expect to get the money by osmosis without doing anything to promote it.

Hello what planet are you from? This one it is pretty much the case that you need to work to earn ‘a living’. Other than inheriting money or winning the lottery, there is no such thing as instant wealth or wealth without work. Yes! Even in Cyberspace! Somebody has to do the work someplace so that all the gears turn and we can ‘enjoy life’ on the Internet.

Anybody who is seriously imagining the idea of earning an income from their Internet marketing home business must realize the ‘survivalist’ mindset. They absolutely should never allow themselves to even entertain a futilistic attitude about the state of their Internet marketing projects; (to build an income online independently from home). It takes TIME like everything else in reality!

Remember always that no matter how many times we try and fail, not to ever give up. Let all failures only be lessons and if we are paying attention we can really do this with very little money and in our spare time. That is the recommended way to start a business, so that you have an income to survive on while you are building and developing your company. It’s an excuse for a mini-celebration just to imagine the day you will fire your boss, or quit your day job! Start practicing now.

If someone is telling you they were able to achieve or accomplish some level of income, etc, that may be an indication that it is indeed possible for you to do that as well. They can’t promise that your trip will be the same as theirs, and there is no rule to say how long it will take you to do the same thing they did, or how much money it is POSSIBLE for you to make in order to succeed in Internet marketing today. Nobody is responsible except you, for how well you TRY and how far you succeed!

It’s all about the level of commitment, engagement, determination and mindset that drives us and dictates our level of effort to succeed with our Internet marketing business. With all that said, you need to give it time. Time for the learning curve, time to implement the start-up, time for ongoing analysis and maintenance; and then of course there are times of acceleration for purposes of expansion. Only then you have earned the right to declare you are running your business on ‘autopilot’ and you can step off and have some fun with all your money!

As the old song goes ‘you’ve got to pick up every stitch’. That means for an Internet Home Business, you have to pay attention. You have to actually read information constantly so that you will understand the concepts, theories, protocols and procedures. You have to have a learning attitude and this may involve some humility in order to open your mind to new things.

Because things are new, you particularly have to pay attention so that you understand what you need to do and how to do it correctly so that you do not waste your time or money making mistakes. Everybody makes them, and nobody is perfect, but you want to minimize your errors and the best way to do that is to actually pay attention.

When you contact an expert and ask them a question, don’t argue with their answer and certainly don’t ignore it. People actually ask for information and then don’t even read it before they are back asking the exact same thing. This only proves they have totally ignored what was given to them and wasted everybody’s precious time. Ridiculous. Maybe the idea is if they act stupid somebody will do it for them? More than likely that is not going to happen. So listen up!

Another very important aspect to this is the use of a computer or other device that connects to the Internet, which is obviously essential if you are going to work on the Internet from home. Because it is essential, if issues are not addressed they can be a big obstacle to you starting your own home business and can frustrate you at every turn. It can even cause you to feel you can’t do this because you are not ‘technical’.

You need to understand that computers are machines. They do not understand ambiguity – they are very simple really – so don’t be intimidated. They understand zero and one, they understand on and off, they understand yes and no. They don’t understand anything in between like ‘maybe’ or ‘sort of’ or ‘like’. Period. As of yet most of them do not read minds and being machines they won’t try to guess what you mean or ‘fit a square peg into a round hole’.

Most of what people attribute to having a difficult time with their computer is due to their own laziness and sloppiness. Nothing more, because it really is not that hard if you pay attention. For example, most websites have a username and password to login. They are almost always case-sensitive. Therefore if it has a lower-case letter set up in the password and you type it with UPPER-CASE it will tell you it is an invalid password and won’t let you login. Type exactly what you see, exactly how you see it.

Passwords and usernames are for the purpose of security – therefore they should be as difficult as possible. They are NOT designed for ease of use and something you can remember like your birthday or your dog’s name. So when a system assigns a secure password, don’t shoot yourself in the foot by changing it to something useless that any hacker with a software program to figure out passwords could figure out in 30 seconds. For example do not ever use a word that is in a dictionary because that is just too easy to figure out. Adding numbers, upper and lower-case letters, and special characters greatly enhances your ability to have a secure password.

If you just don’t feel comfortable with your computer then you should definitely find a course you can take on the basics of using a PC. You can likely find resources free or very inexpensively online by searching for them. You can look up any acronym that you see, by submitting a query to a search engine = ‘what does ‘ISP’ mean?’ or just ‘ISP’ – you will get many links to show you that ISP means ‘Internet Service Provider’. Now you will feel more comfortable when you see that – so take the time to find out what it means sooner rather than later so that you are not distracted by encountering something you do not understand.

You can likely find community colleges that have websites where you can very cheaply take a course in your spare time that is very easy to follow because it is ‘hands-on’, and not theoretical. If something is interfering with your ability to start your own home business online then you need to knock it out where you can – get the information, pay attention and follow the directions.
